Quick Start

Add below script code after Netlify CMS script tag,

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/netlify-cms-widget-simplemde/dist/main.min.js"></script>
<!-- OR use unpkg CDN -->
<!-- <script src="https://www.unpkg.com/netlify-cms-widget-simplemde"></script> -->
<script>
  CMS.registerWidget("simplemde", SimpleMDEControl, SimpleMDEPreview);
</script>

Then, change your original "widget": "markdown" into "widget": "simplemde".

Just so simple, I tested Chinese and works well. (Old markdown widget cannot input Chinese characters fluently.)

Any feature or suggests are welcomed!

Purpose

I made this widget because the original rich-text editor is not doing well with Chinese characters (similar bugs for IME). The bug has not been solved until the CMS's name change.

For example this, XD.

Therefore, many features about rich text editing are NOT added into my editor. Markdown is the first.
